And showing fans that she won’t let Andrew, 45, steal her thunder, the Soap star landed a spot in a gritty new drama.
Amy is known for playing Chloe Atkinson in Emmerdale from 2005 to 2005 and maid Ethel Parks in Downton Abbey from 2011 to 2012.

Amy Nuttall, 41, will take on an exciting new dramatic role, just weeks after winning back her cheating husband Andrew Buchan, 45, for the third time.
The actress, who was last seen not wearing her wedding ring, stayed by Andrew’s side once again despite him leaving her to move in with Leila Farzad last year.
Amy will star alongside EastEnders star Jill Halfpenny, 48, and Spooks actor Rupert Penry-Jones, 53.
Filming on the upcoming drama has already begun in Newcastle, preparing for its 2025 release date.
Promoting her stunning new role, Amy took to social media on Thursday to share the announcement.
The post read: ‘Channel 5 greenlights 6-part drama ‘The Feud’ starring Jill Halfpenny and Rupert Penry-Jones, from Lonesome Pine Productions.
Amy and Andrew, who have a daughter and a son, first split in December 2022 when he left her for his best co-star, Leila Farzad, and the affair became public in February 2023.
But just weeks later, Leila reportedly returned to her husband James Maizels, while Andrew returned to his family, with The Sun reporting that Andrew told a friend: “We’re recovering.”
In July, it was claimed Amy had set her husband seven strict rules to follow after their reunion to rekindle their relationship.
The seven rules included having full access to each other’s phones, having a date night once a week, and going on a couple’s vacation every seven months.

Amy apparently demanded weekly date nights as they followed the 777 approach, full access to each other’s phones and absolutely no contact outside of work with any co-stars, according to The Sun.
It was reported that Andrew would also need to keep in touch via FaceTime when he is away working.
“No one thought they would be able to recover from this, but Amy decided to try one more time,” a source told the publication.
“(Amy) doesn’t want to waste more than a decade together, but at the same time she’s far from a pushover.
“They’ll take the 777 approach, which means every seven days you go on a date, every seven weeks you go for an overnight stay, and every seven months you go on vacation with just the two of you.”
The 777 approach constitutes three of the rules, and the last is that its work must be carried out on equal terms, it was reported.
Speculation that Amy and Andrew had reunited arose in June when Andrew was seen leaving his family home wearing his gold wedding ring.
Amy was spotted around the same time at the property, without her ring, but insiders suggested they were giving her another chance.
A source close to the couple told The Sun: “Amy was, understandably, devastated to find out about the infidelity and wanted a clean break and a fresh start.”
But Andrew has returned to her and promised to change.
“They have been working through their issues and are trying to put the love triangle behind them for the sake of their family.”
They reconciled, but the former Emmerdale star reportedly split from him again in August 2023 when he failed to stick to seven marriage rules she had set to help rebuild their marriage.
At the time, Amy ‘Gutted’ was said to have ended their 11-year marriage and kicked him out of the family home they shared with their two children.
The couple were originally thought to have split after Amy reportedly demanded a divorce from her husband Andrew in March last year, just weeks after news of their split emerged, but it appeared her wishes had changed.
After their second split in August last year, a source told The Sun: “Amy had a hard time giving marriage another chance but thought it was worth one last roll of the dice.”
“There’s no indication that she cheated again, but as far as she’s concerned, that’s it.”
